Jan Yoors really did run away to with a tribe of gypsies in pre-WWII Europe. He became accepted member of a clan of gypsies. As a result, his books are considered the best source of information about gypsy culture. Particularly since gypsies almost instinctively lie about themselves to outsiders. Fascinating and entertaining as well as informative.
